So one thing I have taken notice to since upgrading to IOS 6.

When on websites such as neowin and someone posts a youtube link that normally shows up where you can play it from within the forum...It would play. NOW when I click it, it says flash is needed.

I can open the youtube app and do it that way. But if I dont know of the name of the video then I can't watch it at all.

Anyone else take notice to this?

Using Safari, on my iPhone 4. I can agree with the OP. This is just going through the mobile version of the forums.

I'll second this from my iPhone 4S. BTW, did anybody give a try to a new YouTube player called 'Jasmine'. I finding it pretty neat (Though installing it does nothing to solve this problem)

I haven't tried it anywhere else. I was thinking it's because youtube isnt hard wired in to IOS anymore. Is that possible?

I tried playing embedded Youtube vids on another website and it just says they are "unavailable".

It does indeed look like Apple messed it up somehow.

Been using Jasmine on my iPhone 5 since day 1 and LOVE it. I also put it on my wifes 4s and daughters 4. Only problem is it requires iOS6 so I can not put it on my 1st Gen iPad.

so just an update, as of the past few days I notice that I can not play some videos in Jasmine or any other youtube client. It says content blocked from playback by Youtube, yet I can open it up and play it in youtube without issue... Wonder if Youtube is trying to block all other media players but its own now?

It isn't just iOS 6; I get the same problem on iOS 5.1.1. I'm having the exact same issue. I think it is something that Google changed, not something Apple changed.

I hadn't noticed until I tried to watch the debate last night on my iPhone. I had to rage/quit that because it wasn't getting me anywhere (and f*** me if I could find the debate in the new Google YouTube app...). Eventually just watched it on my mac.

Yeah actually after making the post, I opened back up the Jasmine app and there is an Announcement that explains whats going on and he doesn't blame Google at all.

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
